Can hereditary diseases appear in a child despite the fact that neither parent shows any signs or symptoms of the disease?
Yes. It is possible to carry the gene(s) for a hereditary disease without the disease ever being expressed. The chance of a child inheriting the disease, rather than just being a carrier like its parents, depends on the disease and on whether one or both parents has the gene. A genetic counselor or clinical geneticist would be able to give the chances for a child having a specific disease.
